A new home inspection report should help you understand whether the property has visible defects, unfinished work, or quality issues that should be raised before handover. Even a brand new build can have problems that are easier to fix before you move in.
If you are comparing services, start with the new home building inspections page and the new home inspection checklist for more detail.
What the report should cover
- visible cracks or settlement issues
- doors, windows, and hardware alignment
- wet areas and water-related concerns
- roof, exterior, and drainage issues
- finishes and obvious workmanship defects
Why the report matters
A clear report gives you a structured list of items to discuss with the builder before you sign off. That is usually the easiest time to get issues corrected.
What to expect from a good inspector
You should receive photos, plain-language findings, and practical recommendations. The report should be useful, not technical for the sake of it.
